Getting the Great Salt Lake back to a comfortable water level is going to take a lot of precipitation and work, says KSL meteorologist Kevin Eubank.
SALT LAKE CITY — Getting the Great Salt Lake back to a comfortable water level is going to take a lot of precipitation and work.
"We've been talking about needing a winter like this for a while," Jordan Clayton, a snowpack surveyor supervisor, said.and is helping to loosen the drought's grip on the Beehive State. If our stormy pattern continues into the spring we could add even more water to the lake this season, making for a critical replenishment.
Perry added, "Unfortunately, in the last four years, the lake has dropped 5 feet and that has increased the number of dust hot spots by 40%."
